Hawkers and Whoopers.

 Having just swallowed lunch and the rain appearing to have eased off I decided on a walk down the pond,opening the shutters in the members hide all appeared to be quiet other than good numbers of Southern Hawkers about seven at the same time,hear's just one of them.


Moving on to the public hide there was 2 Dunlin 1 Redshank in the bay and 8 Whoopers splashing about over by the island.



The Whoopers were later joined by a further 3  which came in from the west,
shortly followed by 5 Golden eye which stayed over on the north bank which made for a nice couple of hours.

Thanks for looking
Stay safe (the numbers are rising)
Joe.

St Mary's again.

 Its becoming a regular trip down to the lighthouse recently although looking out of the window as I write this I think I will not be going anywhere today as its chucking it down,here's a few pics from my last visit.

Good numbers of these Ring Plovers around today.




I was just getting into the swing of things when two fighting dogs scuppered any further attempts so I retired onto the island where this guy kept posing for me so I just had to include it

 Missed out on the Wheatears that had dropped in that day and I am still awaiting to catch the tide just right in the hope of getting near to those Golden Plovers.

That all folks
thanks for looking and stay safe.
